HEXAGRAM 53 – Chien – Development (Gradual Progress)
Above SUN THE GENTLE, WIND, WOOD
Below KEN KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN
This hexagram is made up of
- Sun (wood, penetration) above, i.e., without, and
- Ken (mountain, stillness) below, i.e., within.
A tree on a mountain
- develops slowly according to the law of its being and consequently
- stands firmly rooted.
This gives the idea of
a development that proceeds gradually, step by step.
The attributes of the trigrams also point to this:
-
within is tranquility,
- which guards against precipitate actions, and
- which guards against precipitate actions, and
-
without is penetration,
- which makes development and progress possible.
- which makes development and progress possible.
THE JUDGMENT
DEVELOPMENT.
The maiden
Is given in marriage.
Good fortune.
Perseverance furthers.
- The development of events that
leads to a girl’s following a man to his home proceeds slowly.
The various formalities must be disposed of before
the marriage takes place.
This principle of gradual development can be applied to other situations as well;
it is always applicable where
- it is a matter of correct relationships of co-operation,
as for instance in
the appointment of an official.
The development must be allowed to take its proper course.
Hasty action would not be wise.
This is also true, finally, of
- any effort to exert influence on others,
for here too
the essential factor is a correct way of development
through cultivation of one’s own personality.
No influence such as that exerted by agitators has a lasting effect.
Within the personality too,
development must follow the same course
if lasting results are to be achieved.
Gentleness
- that is adaptable,
- but at the same time penetrating,
is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm.
The very gradualness of the development
makes it necessary to have perseverance,
for perseverance alone prevents slow progress from dwindling to nothing.
THE IMAGE
On the mountain, a tree: The image of DEVELOPMENT.
Thus the superior man
abides in dignity and virtue,
In order to improve the mores.
The tree on the mountain
- is visible from afar, and
- its development influences the landscape of the entire region.
It does not shoot up like a swamp plant;
its growth proceeds gradually.
Thus also
the work of influencing people can be only gradual.
No sudden influence or awakening is of lasting effect.
Progress must be quite gradual, and
in order to obtain such progress
- in public opinion and
- in the mores of the people,
it is necessary for the personality to acquire
- influence and
- weight.
This comes about through careful and constant work
on one’s own moral development.
THE LINES
Six in the fourth place means:
The wild goose gradually draws near the tree.
Perhaps it will find a flat branch.
No blame.
A tree is not a suitable place for a wild goose.
But if
it is clever,
it will find a flat branch on which it can get a footing.
A man’s life too, in the course of its development, often
brings him into inappropriate situations,
in which
he finds it difficult to hold his own without danger.
Then it is important to be
- sensible and
- yielding.
This enables him to discover a safe place in which life can go on,
although
he may be surrounded by danger.
MOVING HEXAGRAM
HEXAGRAM 33 – Tun – Retreat
Above CHIEN THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN
Below KEN KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN
The power of the dark is ascending.
The light retreats to security, so that
the dark cannot encroach upon it.
This retreat is a matter
- not of man’s will
- but of natural law.
Therefore in this case withdrawal is proper;
it is the correct way to behave
in order not to exhaust one’s forces. 1
In the calendar this hexagram is linked with the sixth month (July-August), in which
the forces of winter are already showing their influence.
THE JUDGMENT
RETREAT. Success.
In what is small, perseverance furthers.
Conditions are such that the hostile forces favored by the time are advancing.
In this case
- retreat is the right course, and
- it is through retreat that success is achieved.
But success consists in being able to carry out the retreat correctly.
Retreat is not to be confused with flight.
- Flight means saving oneself under any circumstances whereas
- retreat is a sign of strength.
We must be careful not to miss the right moment while
we are in full possession of power and position.
Then we shall be able
-
to interpret the signs of the time
- before it is too late and
- before it is too late and
-
to prepare for provisional retreat
- instead of being drawn into a desperate life-and-death struggle.
- instead of being drawn into a desperate life-and-death struggle.
Thus
- we do not simply abandon the field to the opponent;
-
we make it difficult for him to advance
by showing perseverance in single acts of resistance.
In this way
we prepare, while retreating, for the counter – movement.
Understanding the laws of a constructive retreat of this sort is not easy.
The meaning that lies hidden in such a time is important.
THE IMAGE
Mountain under heaven: the image of RETREAT.
Thus the superior man
keeps the inferior man at a distance,
Not angrily but with reserve.
The mountain rises up under heaven, but owing to its nature
it finally comes to a stop.
Heaven on the other hand
- retreats upward before it into the distance and
- remains out of reach.
This symbolizes the behavior of the superior man toward a climbing inferior;
he retreats into his own thoughts as the inferior man comes forward.
He does not hate him,
for hatred is a form of subjective involvement
by which we are bound to the hated object.
The superior man shows strength (heaven) in that
he brings the inferior man to a standstill (mountain)
by his dignified reserve.
